*Marvel: One of Marvel’s most successful attempts at diversifying their line in the 1970’s was their cash-in on the Kung-Fu craze, with Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu! His inauspicious debut in Special Marvel Edition, a series previously devoted to reprints, indicated that there wasn’t much faith in Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin’s co-creation, but readers took him to their collective hearts, and more than 100 issues ensued, with a star roster of creators including Doug Moench, Gene Day, and Paul Gulacy. Here, however, was where it all started, in Special Marvel Edition #15, December 1973, with the Son of Fu Manchu discovering his villainous heritage, and setting out to oppose his father. Not one, but two copies of Shang-Chi’s debut newly available, in VF- (left) at £60 and FN/VF (right) at £50. SORRY, BOTH NOW SOLD
